I understand that you want to disable autologin to one of your local accounts. Try this first:

1. Log in to the account you want to disable the autologin
2. Press Win + R
3. Type: netplwiz <Enter>
4. Just tick the checkbox "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"

You can also try the registry method. But be sure to create a restore point before changing the registry.

Then follow these steps after creating the restore point:

1. Press Windows + R, type regedit <Enter>

2. Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.

3. Right-click Winlogon and click New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new value AutoAdminLogon.

4. Double-click AutoAdminLogon and set its value to 0.

5. Next, you can right-click Winlogon and click New -> String Value. Name the new value DefaultUserName. Double-click the value and input your user name under Value data. Click OK.

6. Restart the computer.
